Seven places were paid and notables that cashed were German online crushers bencb789 and Cristian “WATnlos” Rudolph, who finished in 5th and 6th place as well as football legend Neymar.

The latter even made it to heads-up play and had the chance to win the biggest title of his poker career.

It wasn’t meant to be though, as he lost against “Mikesonas” from Lithuania. Still a very impressive performance and a huge $66,056.16 score for Neymar.

Czech Double Victory in Bounty Builder Series Event #70 

The big online tournament highlight currently at Pokerstars is the Bounty Builder Series.

Event 70-H, a $530 NLHE 8-Max, had 532 entries, which was not enough to cover the large $275,000 guarantee.

The biggest name on the final table was two-time WSOP Main Event final tablist Antoan Saout. Saout took a strong 4th place for $13.498.80

It was the day of the Czechs, who landed a double victory. They decided to chop the remaining prize pool and only play for bounties.

One on one, “LIKEAG6” defeated his fellow countryman “Jakub_Odvar” to take home the $38.271,84 top prize.
